[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Zakrzewo

[Jerry Frank]

Excellent finding, Juergen.

I have a 1937 map of the area which I did not consult earlier.   It shows 
Zakrzewo Kolonia, Zakrzewo Koscielne and then Zakrzewo Holendry extending 
all in a row in southeasterly direction from Kepa Polska.  The distance 
covered by the 3 villages is only about 3 km.

This doesn't quite match the description from your book but certainly we 
have the right location now with the reference to Zakrzewo Holendry.
